Our Railroad.

= Those VINO have been laughing "t
this enterprise, will now havo tho or-
portunity of giving the other side of
their exercise. There SCI ms
to be no further doubt that it will be
completed to Ashevillc. The compile
tion of the twenty-five miles between
Aiken and Edgefeld, which has been
undertaken by Mr.. Potts, will give
the whole business solid foundation.
Our esteemed contemporary, tic Ad
vertiser, will take notice also, that the
completion of the first section, will
entirely absolve that sterling journal
from the charge of lying; for if it has
lied Mt all, it has just. been in regard
to time, and we respectfully submit
that in this instance, time is not the
essence Of the offence Without any
remarks on the tenderness of car own
conscience, it IS enough to say We
have n2t suffered in this regard.
If tho Legislation which has been
asked on behalf of this enterprise can
he had at the present session Of The
General Assembly, the good work viii
be greatly fastened. When the work
is done, whoever may own the road,
it will in it's benefits belong to the
people along the line, and these ben
efits can rcver be diverted.
In addition to the untiring zeal
which has characterized n few of the
projectors Of this road, the next thing
that inspired our confidence was the
fact that it is located precisely on the
line of necessity. After the world
was created, the Mississippi, Ohio
and Missouri Rivers started to the
gulf, each on its own route. The
NIississipppi got there first. The
other two fooled about for some time
i'll search of better way, but they
soon became 50 full they broke over,
fell into the Mississippi and to this
day remain it's tributaries.
The Corolina, Cumberland Gap 6;
Chicago Railroad will soon be rcudy
to receive the Caralina, Knoxville &
Western, and the Cumberland Gap &
Unnka.

Poor Boys On the Farm

1t is no dishon6r to be farmers
boy. Young men who guide the plow
are as honorable as those who use the
yard stick in our dry good stores. A
young man in town may be more
stylish, but that boy who tolls daily
on the farm has just as true heart,
and worthy of as much praise. There
is as much true friendship significd
by She hearty grasp Of the hotny
hand of the worksngman as there is
IN the vclvcty toueh:o :of the appendaSe
OF The young han whose face seldom
sees the king Of the solar system.
The man who snubs boy because
he is simply n farmers boy is not
worthy the name OF man. Yet it is
often done by would be aristocrats,
who consider farmers as IN inferior
race of beings. -More~t than one pres
ident has been co poor farmers boy"

POINTS FOR LADIES.
Some Things That Promise to BE Popu-
lar During the Autumn Season.

lar During the Autumn Season.
The bingham striped tennis tlannels
are popular.
Collars continue to be worn as high
as possible.
Pretty morning dresses are made Of
old-fashioned cross-barred muslin.
White felt sailor hats with q wide
band around the crown are worn with
flannel dresses of any color.
The banded bodice, which is in reality
belted waist, is in high favor for
toilets of all descriptions.
Ribbons will continue to be used for
bonnet trimmings in widths ranging
from two and half to four or five
inches.
Velvet, faille Franchise, Bengaline,
MORE and gros-grain will be leading
fabrics in millinery this autumn and
winter.
Night dresses of striped percale, in
two shades of blue, pink or other color,
are novel and desirable for use when
travelling.
1t is predicted that long velvet red
ingOtes, with satin skirts, will be eX-
tensively worn the coming fall. Indeed,
many velvets are now worn.
Sashes continue to be fashionable,
there are broad striped Roman sashes;
Roman MORE 0ashes with lengthwise
stripes, and sashes having pompadour
stripes.
Among the many head wraps in
vented for evening wear at the seaside,
a hood made of yellow Chinese silk,
with gold-ball fringe and large bow
fastening the plaits at the top, has the
preference with some.
Single-stone rings, especially where
the gem is fine one, continue favor
ties with ladies, and afford pleasing
contrast to gem rings in other styles.
Clusters are all the while gaining in
popularity, as are all sorts and kinds of
fancy rings. M Y, World. 49,

\ Venturesome ApIine Climber Drops Down
A Fearful Precipce.

n fearIul IfeCIplce.
We were fortunate in finding for COM
pany at table the officers of an Alpine
regiment. These Campagnie Alpine are
a branch of the service of which Italy is
justly proud. The men are chosen from
the Al pine townships and are magifi-
cent set of troops, splendid!y trained to
their business, which is the protection
of the Italian frontier. In winter they
are cautioned in the large towns at the
foot of the Alps, Belluno, Conegliano,
Verona; but the summer months they
spend camping out among the noun
tains, studying the lie of the valleys and
getting the various paths across the
mountains by heart. Their duty takes
them into wild places, and many were
the stories of adventure that the Cap
tain had to tell. One in particular
struck our fancy. The Captain was with
his company at Agordo, and wished to
take his men for march round
the Pale di San Luciano. At the
inn he offered thirty francs for Il
guide. but no one would close with
the offer, the difficulty of the walk
being well known. While the discus
sion was going on. in came tall young
fellow famous for the airs he gave HIM
self. Hearing what was on foot, he
turned to the Captain and said: "Signur
Capitano, | will take your offer; but,
mind you, where [ 90 none of your
men will follow me-" This challenge
put the Captain on his mettle. Select
ing thirty of his best men, he started
the next morning with his guide. The
young fellow led him up and up, pur-
posely missing the true path, until he
and the thirty-one soldiers behind him
were clinging to the sheer precipices of
San Luciano; then he turned and said !:
"Siguor Capitano, | have missed the
way. Tell your men to 90 back. l
will go on across this place and meet
you lower down" The Captain, in Il
rage, gave the order to 80 back, and
the soldiers began feeling their way
backward along the cliff, not daring to
turn round. The guide set off by HIM
self, but he had not taken two steps
when rock on which he laid his hold
gave way and he fell. The soldiers
turned pale as death, but the Captain
lid: Sergeant, you saw him fall; go
down and fetch him." and the sergeant
did. When he got to the foot of the
cliffs he found the mangled body of the
guide, whose own words had come 30
true: Where | gonoRe of yuur mon
will f'llow me. Cor. Pail Mall Ga
